The furrows at the apex of the rhizome or the branches of the same terminal branches are very short and densely covered with hairs resembling the hairs of some Dracaenae Draconis or Yuccae, about 3 inches long, 1 inch wide and 1 inch long, and what emerges is broad, linear-acuminate, strict and rigid, patent, striated, carinate, ciliate at the base, with a rough margin towards the apex, paler beneath; SEGMENTS somewhat thinner, embracing, with fibres of the dissolute bracts emitting from the angle of the lower leaves. PEkpuwcuLI axillary 6 — 8, base conjunct at nearly middle of leaf sheath included, hine recurved, compressed, scabri, unequal, longer 1 — 1} poll. long. VAGINAE communes two, opposite, subulate-cuspidate, complicated, base membranous fascicle collect not much prominent; each peduncle has its own short bracteoles all membranous. Carrrura turbinate, 5 — 6-stachya. IwvoLucmr leaves two long fascicles, subulate, ciliate. Female spicules and solitary occur on peduncle. Srculae singulae 2 — 2; lin.
